With our original datacentre already close to full capacity in Manchester we are in the process of opening our second UK datacentre right next door to our Manchester head office. This new building presents us with a white sheet of paper on which to design a state of the art datacentre which is likely to be the most energy efficient in Europe.
The new datacentre design is targeting a PuE of just 1.15, quite an aim considering that we already has an enviably green track record on energy efficiency with our main datacentre measuring just 1.18 PuE as supported by granular records taken every five minutes and stretching back over 18 months.
Our new building, which was purchased last month, will mean that new customers will soon be able to enjoy the spacious surrounds which boasts a location with free and secure parking just a very short distance from the motorway system and a stone’s throw away from Media City and the Trafford Centre, one of the biggest shopping malls in Europe.
M247 Operations Director Jonathan Buckle is part of a team managing the build of the new datacentre and he says “ the experience we gained a few years back when we opened our first datacentre will be invaluable to the success of this new building. We’re determined to have our new datafloors operational in the very near future and a number of our development team will be moving across within days to enjoy their spacious new office accommodation. Our team has grown significantly recently and this new space will help us all benefit in so many ways.”
Asked what other changes this new building will bring, Chris Byrd, our Technical Director, said “ Targeting high bandwidth users requiring connectivity under our GlobalAXS brand and the colocation market under our IceColo brand, the new datacentre will house at least 300 racks to which we will be able to deliver 32 amp A + B with an N+1 UPS set up. Importantly, the new datacentre will have a carrier neutral proposition with 60Gbps of activated connectivity capacity including an advanced 10Gbps IP and MPLS network connected directly to 7 of the world\'s largest and most important Internet exchanges via a resilient European network ring spanning Manchester, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris and Belgium with a full London bypass. We also have direct peering relationships with 70% of all the European ISPs. Our recent investment and massive capacity positions us with practically unlimited growth potential for many years into the future.”
More news to follow as the new datacentre building progresses.
